Parish  of  Terrebonne, 


POPULATION,  20,451. 


A  Historical  Sketch  of  the  Parish  of 

Terrebonne. 


By  E.  C.  Wurzlow,  Deputy  Clerk  of  Court,  and  Member  of  the 

Houma  Town  Council. 


The  Parish  of  Terrebonne  was 
created  March  22d,  1822,  oat  of  a 
portion  of  the  Parish  of  Lafourche 
Interior.  It  contains  an  approxi¬ 
mate  superficial  area  of  1808 
square  miles,  and  is  much  larger 
than  the  State  of  Rhode  Island, 
and  nearly  as  large  as  Delaware. 
Only  one  parish  in  the  State  ex¬ 
ceeds  it  in  superficies,  the  Parish 
of  Calcasieu. 

Less  than  one  eighteenth  of  the 
parish  is  high  land  ;  the  balance  is 
marshes,  swamps,  low  prairies, 
bayous  and  lakes. 


The  cultivable  land  is  composed 
of  the  ridges  along  the  banks  of 
the  different  bayous,  rich  alluvial 
soil  that  is  highly  productive  and 
easily  cultivated.  The  principal 
bayous  are  the  Terrebonne,  Little 
Caillou,  Grand  Caillou,  Black,  Du- 
large  and  Blue.  The  space  be¬ 
tween  the  ridges  of  the  different 
bayous  is  mostly  swamps  of  cypress 
timber.  Numerous  lakes,  bays  and 
islands  form  part  of  the  parish,  and 
its  southern  limits  are  washed  by 
the  waters  of  the  Gulf  of  Mexico. 

The  population  in  1890  was 


2 


Directory  of  the  Parish  of  Terreboime. 


20,451.  There  were  10,574  whites, 
9,541  negroes,  and  336  persons  of 
Indian  extraction. 

At  the  time  Terrebonne  was 
made  a  parish  but  few  settlements 
dotted  the  fertile  banks  of  its 
many  sluggish  bayous  that  wound 
through  luxurious  vegetation  and 
virgin  forests  untouched  by  the 
woodman’s  ax.  Stately  trees  grew 
along  Bayou  Terrebonne, and  inter¬ 
lacing  above  nearly  closed  the 
heavens  from  view  .  Dense  cane- 
brakes  were  where  now  teeming 
fields  of  sugar  cane  and  corn  re¬ 
ward  the  husbandman  for  his  toil. 
Amidst  this  widlerness  the  bear 
panther  and  deer  dweU,  and  few 
there  were  to  trouble  them.  Cranes, 
herons  and  other  aquatic  birds 
filled  the  streams  and  swamps,  and 
the  alligator  disputed  the  settler’s 
right  to  paddle  his  pirogue  through 
some  of  the  principal  bayous.  The 
greater  portion  of  the  Indians  had 
been  removed  from  Louisiana,  but  ] 
a  few  lingered  in  the  State,  and  a 
small  band  existed  near  the  lower 
limits  of  the  parish.  Near  Gibson, 
and  on  the  lower  Terrebonne  aud 
Grand  Caillou,  are  Indian  mounds 
which  attest  an  era  when  the  red 
men  held  uudisputed  sway  over 
this  country. 

“Good  laud.”  Such  is  the  mean¬ 
ing  of  the  word  Terrebonne,  trans¬ 
lated  from  the  French,  and  truly 
it  was  an  appropriate  name  to 
apply  to  this  rich  and  productive  ■ 
soil. 

The  first  settlements  in  this  par¬ 


ish  were  made  during  the  closing 
decade  of  the  eighteenth  century, 
by  French  Canadians,  principally 
from  the  older  colonies  of  Louisi¬ 
ana.  Some  French,  Americans, 
Spaniards  and  Germans  also  made 
this  their  home.  During  that  pe¬ 
riod  various  grants  were  made  to 
divers  persons  by  the  Baron  de 
Carondelet,  then  Governor  of  Lou¬ 
isiana,  which  was  then  a  Spanish 
colony.  Reference  is  made  in  the 
public  records  of  1828  to  a  tract  of 
land  on  Bayou  Grand  Caillou,  near 
Quitman’s  Lake,  as  “the  locality 
known  by  the  name  of  the  ancient 
encampement  Derboune.” 

The  Derbonne  or  Terrebonne 
family  seem  to  have  been  amongst 
the  earliest  pioneers  of  this  parish. 
These  settlers  came  by  way  of  the 
Gulf,  in  their  luggers,  aud  ascend¬ 
ing  the  different  bayous,  explored 
the  banks  of  the  different  streams. 
It  was  not  until  about  the  time 
Terrebonne  became  a  parish  that  a 
narrow  road  was  opened  along  thq 
Bayou  Terrebonne  to  Thibodaux. 

Court,  in  the  early  days  of  the 
parish,  was  held  in  a  little  build 
ing  on  Bayou  Cane.  On  May  10th, 
1834,  Richard  H.  Grinage  and  Hu 
bert  M.  Belanger  donated  to  the 
Parish  of  Terrebonne  the  property 
on  which  the  presentcourthouseaud 
other  public  buildings  are  situated. 
This  land  was  valued  at  that  time 
at  $150.  The  land  on  each  side  of 
this  was  laid  off  into  town  lots, 
and  the  town  of  Houma  came  into 
existence,  bearing  the  name  of  the 


Directory  of  the  Parish  of  Terrebonne.

Indian  tribe  that  lived  and  loved 
and  worshipped  amongst  its  groves, 
the  ancient  Houmas,  which  means 
“The  Sun.” 

From  Bayou  Oane  the  couit 
house  was  moved  to  a  building  in 
the  public  square.  Court  was  af¬ 
terward  held  in  a  two- story  build¬ 
ing  in  the  center  of  the  block 
between  Church  and  Grinage 
streets,  on  the  north  side  of  Main 
street,  and  afterwards  in  a  two- 
story  building  corner  of  Main  and 
Grinage  street  in  the  same  block. 

A  one-story  brick  building,  now 
forming  part  of  the  present  struc¬ 
ture,  was  begun  shortly  before  the 
war,  but  work  was  abandoned  at 
the  beginning  of  that  momentous 
event,  and  the  building  was  not 
completed  until  1875.  In  1892  the 
present  commodious  and  beautiful 
edifice  was  completed,  the  old  one- 
story  building  having  been  utilized 
in  its  construction.  It  is  one  of 
the  prettiest  structures  of  its  kind 
in  the  State. 

The  first  building  erected  in 
Houma  is  said  to  have  been  built  at 
the  corner  of  Court  and  Church 
streets;  two  or  three  others  were 
constructed  nearly  at  the  same  time. 
Edmond  Guidry,  who  died  in  Lower 
Terrebonne  about  two  years  ago, 
worked  as  a  carpenter  on  these 
first  buildings. 

In  1870  the  Houma  Branch  Rail¬ 
road  was  built,  connecting  Houma 
with  Hew  Orleans  by  rail.  Before 
that  a  stage  line  was  run  between 
Houma  and  Thibodaux,  and  freight 


was  transported  in  barges  or  flat- 
boats. 

Houma’s  elegant  Opera  House 
was  erected  in  1896,  by  Houma 
Fire  Co.  No.  1,  at  a  cost  of  $8,000. 
This  fire  company  was  organized  in 
1872,  and  has  distinguished  itself 
on  many  occasions.  It  is  provided 
with  one  of  the  best  steamers  and 
with  other  equipments  for  fight¬ 
ing  fire. 

Houma  Hook  and  Ladder  Co. 
was  organized  in  1888.  This  com¬ 
pany  owns  a  hall,  truck  and  lad¬ 
ders,  a  Babcock  and  other  equip¬ 
ments,  and  is  an  efficient  body  of 
fire  fighters. 

The  hotels  are  the  Bazet  Hotel, 
Commercial  Hotel,  Sanders  Hotel 
and  Breaux’s  House,  which  afford 
ample  accommodation  for  the 
traveling  public. 

Jastremski  &  Wilson’s  Ice  Fac¬ 
tory  supply  the  home  market  with 
ice.  C.  P.  Smith  &  Co.,  operate  a 
saw  and  shingle  mill,  and  A.  C. 
Daspit  is  about  to  erect  another 
saw  and  shingle  mill. 

Emile  Daigle,  runs  a  steamboat 
and  transportation  line  between 
Houma  and  Lower  Terrebonne. 
Most  of  the  sugar  and  molasses 
made  by  the  refineries  and  sugar- 
houses  along  Bayou  Terrebonne  are 
brought  to  the  Southern  Pacific 
depot  here  by  his  steamboat  “Har¬ 
ry”  and  barges. 

The  oyster  shipping  industry  of 
this  place  has  assumed  large  pro 
portions.  The  coasts  of  our  parish 


4 


Directory  of  the  Parish  of  Terrebonne. 


abound  with  the  most  delicious  of 
this  species  of  bivalve.  The  oyster 
beds  of  Terrebonne  not  only  supply 
the  Houma  Shipping  Establish¬ 
ments,  but  most  of  the  oysters  for¬ 
warded  from  Morgan  City  come 
from  this  parish.  Houma  will  soon 
be  the  principal  oyster  shipping 
point  of  the  gulf  coast.  Its  near¬ 
ness  to  the  oyster  beds,  place  it  in 
an  advantageous  position  as  a  dis¬ 
tributing  point  and  the  superiority 
of  its  oysters  are  acknowledged. 
These  oysters  are  shipped  to  all 
parts  of  the  United  States  west 
of  the  Mississippi  river,  some  are 
shipped  as  far  south  as  the  City  of 
Mexico,  while  some  compete  with 
the  Baltimore,  east  of  the  river. 
25,000,000  oysters  were  shipped 
from  Houma  last  season.  The  prin¬ 
cipal  shipping  depots  are  the 
Houma  Fish  and  Oyster  Co.,  Ltd., 
Davidson  &  Avery,  Daspit  &  Cel- 
estin,  G.  Wolf  &  Co.,  W.  J.  Gaidry 
and  E.  Ghirardi. 

Houma  has  several  good  schools 
presided  over  by  capable  teachers, 
two  banks.  The  Bank  of  Houma 
and  the  People’s  Bauk,  and  two 
newspapers,  the  Houma  Courier 
and  the  Terrebonne  Times,  and  is 
connected  with  the  rest  of  the  world 
by  telegraph. 

A  proposition  will  be  submitted 
to  the  taxpayers  of  the  town  to  tax 
themselves  for  waterworks  and 
electric  lights  at  an  election  to  be 
held  on  the  second  Tuesday  in  Jan¬ 
uary,  1898. 

The  town  was  incorporated, 


March  16th,  18-18,  and  reiucorpo- 
rated,  February  18rh,  1878.  The. 
following  is  a  list  of  its  mayors  to 
date:  F.  S.  Goode,  Joseph  Ayeock, 
Justin  Cbauvin,  John  Berger, 
Thomas  J.  Hargis,  A.  S.  Helmick, 
Felix  Daspit,  Joseph  Dupait, 
Charles  Tennant,  Dr.  H.  M.  Wallis, 
John  A  Hubbard,  I.  M.  Price,  M. 
F.  Smith,  Ernest  Picon,  and  the 
present  mayor,  J.  C.  Dupont.  Its 
population  according  to  the  census 
of  1890  was  1220.  Newtown  in  the 
rear  of  Houma  had  a  population  of 
156.  The  present  population  of 
Houma  and  its  suburbs  is  about 
3000. 

A  great  many  improvements  are 
contemplated  by  the  town  and  its 
citizens  in  the  near  future.  Among 
them  is  a  $7,000  Castle  Hall,  to  be 
erected  on  Main  Street,  by  the 
Knights  of  Pythias. 

Large  swamps  of  cypress  timber 
abound  in  the  Parish  of  Terre 
bonne,  and  several  large  saw  mills 
furnish  employment  to  a  great 
many  men,  and  is  the  source  of 
considerable  revenue. 

Ash,  oak,  gum,  willow  and  vari¬ 
ous  other  species  of  trees  are  still 
plentiful,  though  large  inroads 
have  been  made  into  the  timber  of 
late  years. 

The  Spanish  moss  grows  luxu¬ 
riously  in  the  swamps,  and  large 
quantities  of  it  are  prepared  annu¬ 
ally  and  sent  to  the  New  Orleans 
market  and  sold. 

The  bayous,  lakes  and  bays 
abound  in  the  choicest  of  fresh  and

salt  water  fish  of  various  species. 
Ducks,  quail,  snipe,  doves  and  other 
game  birds  are  hunted  successfully; 
the  former  being  very  plentiful 
during  the  fall  and  winter  season. 
Deer  used  to  be  plentiful;  a  few 
still  remain;  and  bear  have  almost 
disappeared.  The  alligator  is 
hunted  for  his  hide,  and  thousands 
of  sea  gulls  and  terns  are  killed 
annually,  and  form  an  article  of 
commerce. 

Sugar,  molasses  and  rice,  are  the 
principal  agricultural  products,  and 
corn,  hay,  potatoes  and  cotton  are 
produced,  and  fruit  grows  in  abun¬ 
dance. 

‘‘The  Parish  of  Terrebonne  is  one 
of  the  largest  sugar  producing  par¬ 
ishes  in  the  state.”

The  Centre  of  One  of  the  Most  Fertile  Sections  of  Terrebonne 

Parish. 


Wonderful  Progress  and  Prospective  Improvements- -Growing  Importance 
as  a  Manufacturing,  Planting  and  Commercial  Center. 


WAUBUN  REFINERY 


Schriever  is  situated  in  the  Par¬ 
ish  of  Terrebonne,  fifteen  miles 
from  the  town  of  Houma,  fifty- 
five  miles  west  from  New  Orleans 
on  the  Great  Southern  Pacific  Rail¬ 
way,  and  three  miles  from  Bayou 
Lafourche  and  the  prosperous  town 
of  Thibodaux,  and  twenty-five 
miles  from  Morgan  City,  a  sea 
port.  It  is  the  terminal  point 
for  the  Thibodaux  and  Houma 
branches  of  the  Southern  Pacific 
Railway.  It  is  thickly  settled  with 


a  thrifty  class  of  people,  and 
Schriever  is  gradually  growing  in 
importance  as  a  planting  and  busi¬ 
ness  center.  The  town  can  boast 
of  having  a  commodious  passenger 
and  freight  depot.  Wells,  Fargo 
Express  Co.,  and  Western  Union 
Telegra  ph  offices,  and  the  Schriever 
Postoffice,  with  Mr.  L.  S.  Toups  as 
postmaster  and  merchant. 

Mr.  John  T.  Moore,  Jr.,  one  of 
the  most  progressive  young  men  of 
this  section,  conducts  a  wholsale

and  retail  store,  under  the  name  of 
the  Waubun  Store,  in  which  a  full 
and  complete  stock  of  dry  goods, 
notions  and  groceries,  and  general 
plantation  supplies  can  always  be 
found,  and  are  sold  at  prices  that 
defy  competition.  This  store  is 
under  the  management  of  the  effi¬ 
cient  and  popular  gentleman,  Mr. 
J.  Roan  McNaghten,  who  also  fills 
the  responsible  position  of  book- 
keper  for  the  Waubun  plantation 
and  refinery.  Mr.  McNagbten  has 
been  in  the  employment  of  Mr. 
John  T.  Moore  for  the  past  fifteen 
years. 

The  clerks  in  this  store  are  Ed¬ 
ward  Joblanc,  Wm.  Thibodaux 
and  J.  Arthur  Robichaux,  who  by 
their  affable  and  courteous  man¬ 
ners  have  contributed  towards  the 
popularity  of  the  store. 

l 

One  of  the  factors  that  have 
and  will  contribute  a  great  deal 
toward  the  development  and  pros¬ 
perity  of  Schriever  and  this  section 
is  the  Waubun  sugar  refinery, 
owned  and  operated  by  Capt.  Jno. 
T.  Moore,  a  distinguished  citizen  of 
the  State,  who  has  done  much 
towards  the  development  of  the 
commercial  and  sugar  industry  of 
Louisiana.  The  refinery  is  situated 
opposite  Schriever.  It  is  a  large 
modern  structure  with  all  the  lat¬ 
est  improved  machinery  for  the 
manufacture  of  sugar.  The  factory 
has  a  capacity  of  grinding  500 
tons  of  cane  per  day  and  gives  em¬ 
ployment  to  250  men  during  the 
season.  The  output  for  1896-97 


was  4,500,000.  Improvements  are 
being  made  continually,  and  in  a 
short  while  it  will  compare  favor¬ 
ably  with  any  in  the  State. 

Mr.  Chas.  V.  Moore,  a  graduate 
of  the  Audubon  -Sugar  School  is 
the  efficient  chemist  and  superin¬ 
tendent.  Under  his  management 
a  high  grade  of  sugar  is  manufac¬ 
tured  and  Waubun  brand  is  one  of 
the  most  popular  in  the  New  Or¬ 
leans  market. 

The  refinery  has  as  a  feeder  the 
Waubun  plantation,  also  owned  by 
Capt.  Jno.  T.  Moore.  The  place 
covers  an  area  of  3500  acres,  of 
which  1200  is  in  cane  and  420 
acres  in  corn. 

Adjoining  Waubun  is  the  St. 
George  plantation,  owned  by  Mr. 
John  T.  Moore,  Jr.,  with  an  area 
of  1,480  acres;  300  acres  are  in 
cane  and  250  in  corn.  This  place 
produced  5,000  tons  of  cane  in 
1896,  and  the  prospects  are  for  a 
large  increase  this  season. 

Besides  these  two  places,  the 
lower  Ducros  plantation,  owned 
and  operated  by  the  Wood  Bros., 
furnish  a  large  quantity  of  cane  to 
this  factory,  as  well  as  the  upper 
Ducros,  owned  by  McFarlane, 
Baldwin  &  Co.,  of  Cincinnati,  O., 
operated  under  lease  by  several  in¬ 
dustrious  and  progressive  teuants, 
viz.:  Messrs.  Marcelus,  Guilot, 
Pierre  Prejean,  Sylvere  Guilot- 
Emile  Lassage,  Gustave  Berthe- 
lot,  Frank  Hidalgo,  Leoni  Prejean, 
Mathurin  Adam  and  others. 

Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  this

RESIDENCE  OF  COL.  GABRIEL  MONTEGUT. 


This  is  an  exact  likeness  of  the 
commodious  and  beautiful  country 
home  of  the  Hon.  Gabriel  Monte- 


gut,  one  of  Terrebonne’s  most 
popular  citizens,  and  a  gentleman 
known  throughout  Louisiana  for 


Directory  of  the  Parish  of  Terrebonne . 


his  integrity  and  sterling  demon 
racy. 

His  residence  is  about  three- 
quarters  of  a  mile  above  Houma,  on 
the  rightdescending  bank  ot‘  Bayou 
Terrebonne,  comprising  about  35 
arpents  of  land  under  a  high  state 
of  cultivation,  a  portion  used  as  a 
truck  farm  in  which  is  raised  a 
large  variety  of  vegetables.  Mr. 
Montegut,  besides  attending  to 
his  onerous  duties  as  cashier 
of  the  People’s  Bank  of  Houma,  de¬ 
votes  his  leisure  time  to  beautifying 
this  ideal  home,  by  cultivating 
flowers,  shade,  ornamental  and 
fruit  trees,  making  his  yard  a  veri¬ 
table  park  of  exotic  and  fragrant 
plants. 

Col.  Montegut  was  born  in  the 
city  of  New  Orleans,  July  30,  1839, 
and  is  a  descendant  of  one  of  the 
oldest  and  most  prominent  Creole 
families  of  the  State. 

He  has  been  a  resident  of  the 
parish  of  Terrebonne  for  30  years, 
and  has  been  identified  with  every 
movement  that  tended  to  the  eleva¬ 
tion  and  bettering  of  his  parish 
and  State.  He  has  held  many  posi¬ 


25 


tions  of  honor  and  trust,  filling 
each  with  signal  ability.  Mr. 
Montegut  is  a  gentleman  of  positive 
character,  broad  minded,  and  of  a 
genial,  sympathetic  nature.  There 
is  no  enterprise  or  laudable  effort 
on  the  part  of  any  one  which  can 
fail  to  enlist  his  support.  He 
has  at  all  times  encouraged 
and  assisted  worthy  enterprises 
among  the  negroes,  and  has 
been  ever  willing  io  give  them 
counsel  and  advice  by  which  a 
better  feeling  would  spring  up  be¬ 
tween  the  races.  Col.  Montegut’s 
friends  are  legion,  and  he  enjoys  the 
distinction  of  having  never  betray¬ 
ed  a  trust  or  deceived  his  fellow- 
man.  “Gabe  Montegut’s  word  is  his 
bond,”  and  the  humblest  as  well  as 
the  most  exalted  citizens  take  pleas¬ 
ure  in  speaking  well  of  this 
honorable  man. 

Col.  Montegut  as  agent  for  land 
owned  by  the  Citizens  Bank  of 
New  Orleans,  divided  Rural  Farm 
plantation  and  other  places  into 
small  tracts,  and  sold  them  to  in¬ 
dustrious  white  and  colored  men, 
who  are  to-day  prosperous  farmers.
